If the Gnus maintainers are actively maintaining and developing the
rfc*.el files, it's not worthwhile to move those files from gnus/ into
net/, if that would make it harder for them to do thir job (due to the
repository synch issues etc.)  But if these files are more or less
"stable", then I don't see why not.

In the meantime, there's no reason to avoid `require'ing a package just
because that package happens to live in the gnus/ directory.
